Twitter is such a large part of our generation nowadays that it is used to market close to everything. Many clubs at UBC have their own twitter pages to update their members about new events, opportunities, etc. Restaurants, bars, radio stations, and everything between and beyond have their own pages as well to tweet about things happening within their realms.
Recently, I came across this nifty, vintage packaging for post-it notes:
First, I’d just like to say that I LOVE the packaging. I love anything vintage so this little box that the post-it notes come in is definitely appealing to me. They even changed the way the “twitter bird” looks to make it look a little more like it’s from the 1950’s. I’m feeling the throwback. Even though the concept is nothing new (meaning the post-its aren’t anything new. They’re still square, yellow, and awesome), I still feel compelled to buy this “new product” because 1. the packaging is so cute & 2. “vintage twitter” sounds so retro and cool.
It’s suckers like me that fall for these corporate, marketing traps but I’m not going to deny, it works. And if it works for one, naive consumer, I’m positive it’ll work for a million more.
Gee golly, good show! (that’s what they would’ve said in the 1950’s right?)
